  1. Incorporating an Affordability Rate Cap Into a Florida RPSFloridaPublic Service CommissionJuly 26, 2007 Kim Owens, P.E. JEA Clean Power Coordinator

  2. Overview • Affordability Rate Cap • Nationally • Cost impact studies • Rate caps in RPS design • How to define budget and investment? • JEA Scenario • JEA approved base rate increase • How much can a rate cap purchase? • JEA’s renewable energy program

  3. Affordability Rate Cap • Will an RPS increase Rates? uncertain • FMEA RPS proposal • To protect consumers from uncertain costs of renewable generation • Flexibility - allows for compliance either through energy OR investment goals

  4. 20 of 28* Analyses Predict Rate Increases of Less Than or Equal to 1% * Number of analyses is more than 26 because results for each state in CA/OR/WA (Tellus) are shown separately Source: LBNL, Ryan Wiser, May 2006

  5. Generation Technologies • Wind represents 61% of incremental generation: - 90%in Midwest - 62%in East - 51%in West Source: LBNL, Ryan Wiser, May 2006

  6. Cost Controls in RPS Design • Cost controls take a variety of forms: • Rate caps; contract rate caps; alternative compliance payments; penalties • Colorado, New Mexico, Washington have rate caps • CO (retail rate impact <2% of total annual electric bill for each customer) • NM (retail rate impact <1% in 2006 , increasing 0.2%/yr, until 2% in 2011) • WA (4% of retail revenue)

  7. Defining Budget and Investment • Budget • % of electric revenues OR • Maximum increase to retail rate • Investment • Marginal costs of renewable resource above cost of conventional resource • Loss revenues on debt service and base operating costs if capacity is not avoided (for energy efficiency resources)

  8. JEA Rates • JEA electric revenue – $1.03 B (FY06) • JEA Sales – 14 Million MWH (FY06) • Impact of 1% rate increase on residential customer @ 1,000 kwh/mo $0.96/mo (based on FY08 rates) 1% rate increase may seem like a minimal impact for our customers but they are absorbing other rate increases

  9. FY 2008 Residential Customer Bill Comparison(Consumption @ 1000 kWh) JEA Base Rate Increases Phased in Over 4 Years – Residential class of customers will receive 5.5%, 5.25% and 3% increases in FY09, FY10 and FY11 $7.60 per month increase

  10. What does 1% of revenues purchase?JEA Renewables • $10 M incremental revenue: • 100 MW base load (80% CF) biomass project at $65/Mwh all in cost as a power purchase • Displaces $30/MWH average marginal off-peak energy 40% of the year and $65/MWH average marginal on-peak energy 60% of the year. • Total system energy produced is 700,800 MWH or 5% of sales A 1% revenue investment in renewables yields a 100 MW base load facility and 5% of retail sales from renewables

  11. What does 1% of revenues purchase?Energy Efficiency • JEA’s DSM portfolio proposal: • Interruptible, load control, new construction, lighting and low-income programs • $13M investment in 3 years • 40 MW demand reduction • 60,000 MWH reduction • Upfront costs for JEA will yield future reduction in peak generation and fuel costs

  12. JEA Renewable Energy Program • Biomass RFP – August 2007 • JEA DSM and EE Portfolio launch – FY08 • R&D • Biodiesel turbine test • 100 KW hydro turbine • Solar thermal system peak reduction study 411,500 MWH* Or 3% of Sales *50% from efficiency
